Here's the marquee for the Thunderbird Motel in Show
Low, AZ. This marquee still stands tall along the main drag through town after being built in 1955. The motel sign here now replaced a shorter sign that was originally on site.
The thunderbird image that's on the marquee itself features the typical
colors and shape of other namesake motels.

Another of the Miracle Mile motels, the Amazon
Motel still stands tall. The sign which lights up in neon appears to date back from the 1950's or 60's.
UPDATE : Here are more photos of the Amazon Motel. The sign itself has changed slightly over the past few decades. I've had more than my share of encounters taking photos here, especially at night. 06-23
